Adderall was the best ADHD med that I ever took. My problem was that it made my already irritable personality just that much worse and everyone who had to live with me was going to kill me!!
ADHD meds are nothing to be afraid of if they are taken and prescribed correctly. You will know in a hurry if your dose is too high but when it's the right med and you are dosed right, it really can make a huge difference. I can actually start AND finish things; in a timely manner...all of that stuff. The bills get paid on time because they are not lost.
The choice is really yours in the end, but I think you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you don't try them. It can be amazing how much you take for granted that you "muddle through". You've become used to it; that's the way YOUR life is.
